Chapter 290 - A drink

About half a minute later.

Gu Qing Shan arrived at the North Pole.

When he was about to cross a certain point, a figure appeared standing in the air amidst the rain of snow.

It was a black figure, completely hidden inside their thick cloak, he was unable to make out a face.

At the same time, a voice appeared inside Gu Qing Shan’s mind.

“I am the Protector of the 9 Lords and this is our 9 Lords’ ancestral land”

“Who are you and what is your business here?”

This is a Mental-type God’s Chosen Skill.

Gu Qing Shan stared at the black figure.

An immense power emitted from the black figure, ready to turn into killing intent at any time.

Right, this is their territory after all ——Su Xue Er’s territory.

Thinking that, Gu Qing Shan stopped the airship.

He stepped out of the airship, flying in midair to face the figure and spoke: “This humble one is Gu Qing Shan, I came here to find Su Xue Er”

“Why are you looking for her?”

“She’s a friend of mine, but I suddenly lost contact with her and the North Pole is the place where her signal was last found”

“Is that really so?”

“I wouldn’t lie”

The figure raised their hand, drawing a card from the void of space.

She then tied a long hair onto the card.

“[Past Reconstruction]”

The figure muttered.

The card then scattered to minute specks of light.

The light swirled around in the air, then reformed into a phantom screen.

Gu Qing Shan and Su Xue Er appeared on it.

They were having a meal together, then one second later, Gu Qing Shan rubbed Su Xue Er’s head.

“So you really are Su Xue Er’s friend, I thought you were just another reckless soul peeking into the secret of the 9 Lords”

The figure’s killing intent dispersed, her tone also became softer.

“Where is she now?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“You can leave; she’s currently undergoing the 9 Lords’ Inheritance so she can’t meet you yet”

“Can I at least take a look?”

“Of course not, no matter who it is, anyone who attempts to peek into the 9 Lords’ secret must die”

“Then what if I insist?” Gu Qing Shan said.

A sword appeared in his hand.

The Protector of the 9 Lords subconsciously wanted to draw a card, but then stayed her hand.

She evaluated Gu Qing Shan for a bit, recalling the scene she saw just now.

This young man is quite closely acquainted with Xue Er.

And he even managed to fly here…

Slowly thinking for a bit, the Protector of the 9 Lords changed her tone: “If you do such a thing, Su Xue Er will suffer because of that”

Gu Qing Shan was a bit shocked and asked: “What do you mean?”

“She was born into a 9 Lords’ family, and she herself is one of the Lords, her ancestors, her fellow kin are buried under here, what do you think would happen if you insist on fighting here?”

Gu Qing Shan’s fighting spirit slowed as he heard that.

I don’t care a single bit about having to raid the 9 Lord’s ancestral land.

But Su Xue Er is one of the 9 Lords, which means this is essentially her ancestor’s burial grounds.

If I act like a delinquent and insist on messing up her ancestor’s graveyard…

Then that’s really no good.

Gu Qing Shan rescinded all his fighting spirit.

“Looks like you’re a wise young man”

The figure appeared to be smiling.

“Can I at least know how she is right now?” Gu Qing Shan very sincerely asked.

“She’s very well! I’ve peeked into her fate several times, the shadows of death have already gone away, while she herself is spreading her wings in the sky”

The black figure proudly spoke: “Very soon, her power will become such that you cannot possibly imagine”

Gu Qing Shan felt the power the person facing him was emitting.

Such power is already considered among the strongest in the world.

Such a powerhouse wouldn’t bother lying about this small matter.

Gu Qing Shan tried probing her: “You seems to care about Xue Er quite a bit”

The black figure replied: “Fool, this is our 9 Lords’ ancestral land, who do you THINK I am to her?”

Gu Qing Shan faced-palmed.

I really was too worried to think carefully.

This is the 9 Lords’ ancestral burial grounds, and she named herself to Protector of this place.

If he’s unlucky, she might actually be blood-related to Xue Er.

The black figure then asked him back: “But what about you ——who are you, and what are you to our Xue Er?”

Gu Qing Shan was a bit stunned.

How did the subject change so quickly?

He felt like he just walked in front of the predator’s mouth himself.

Suddenly, his Holo-Brain lit up.

[According to the records of the past 400 years, every Lord has successfully made it through the Rite of Inheritance without any problems] Impartial Goddess reported her findings.

Which means Xue Er should also be safe.

Gu Qing Shan loosened up.

If so many Lords managed to go through this rite unharmed, then there’s not much danger regarding this inheritance.

And I was too panicked and rushed all the way here.

——who would think well of a guy that barged into their ancestor’s burial grounds?

“My bad, then I’ll trouble you with Xue Er, I just remembered I have an emergency to take care of” saying so, Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist solemnly.

After bowing, Gu Qing Shan flew away without looking back.

It almost seemed like he was running for his life.

The black figure silently stared as he flew away.

“Flight… this child’s power is truly unimaginable…”

In this world, there are only three kinds of people who can fly freely in the sky without the use of any outside force.

A 5th stage Elementalist.

A Martial Saint.

And a 5th stage God’s Chosen who is a step away from manifesting their Skill as a card or scroll.

This is considered common knowledge.

Each Professionist and even normal people would know this as fact.

The fact that such a young man managed to fly so firmly within this hail storm tells a very clear story.

This is also the reason why when the Protector arrived here, she didn’t attack first and chose to speak.

“A very decent young man, Xue Er certainly does need such a capable aide in the future” she muttered.

The Protector turned around and flew straight to the bottom of the mountain at the top of the North Pole.

She stopped outside a small room.

“Get out” she spoke.

The 8 Lords stepped out, carrying a nervous expression as they looked at the Protector.

“Su Xue Er is still in the process of facing her trial, you don’t need to wait for her, go back first” the Protector said.

“According to the rules, shouldn’t we bring her back with us?” one of the Lords asked.

“How could she return by herself?” another Lord also asked.

“No need to try probing me” the Protector smiled as she spoke, “she will have become extremely powerful once she returns, she can make it on her own back down the road to the North Pole, there’s no need for you to guide her”

After saying so, the Protector headed up the mountain without looking back.

“Did you hear that?” one of the Lords stared at the leaving Protector and spoke.

“I did, it seems that little girl has chosen power, and has quite the success with it as well”

“What an unexpected turn of events”

The group of Lords became silent.

A powerhouse that stands at the top of this world is about to be born.

And she’s also one of the 9 Lords.

What would become of the other 8 Lords then?

The Lords cleaned up all the things, thinking about how to deal with her from now on.

“A woman would always need to marry” one of the Lords muttered.

“According to what I know, she already has someone she admires” another Lord replied.

“Which one of our mainline members is the lucky one?” one of the other Lords was interested.

“It’s not one of us”

All the Lords stopped their hands.

“No” a Lord suddenly spoke, “such power should be reined in our hands”

Gu Qing Shan was quickly fleeing.

But he was no longer worried.

If Su Xue Er is safe then there’s no need for him to care.

She’s a member of the 9 Lords, then let her stay at the 9 Lords Ancestral Grounds to breakthrough.

Not to mention, I also left an emergency measure on the Blazing Angel’s ring, so in case that she gets into danger, it’ll save her.

Yeah, there’s nothing to worry about right now.

Gu Qing Shan sighed heavily.

Ever since he last returned from the cultivation world, his mind has been in a constant state of stress and pressure without any time to rest.

Maybe I should rest a bit first…

Right, let’s go get a drink first before doing anything else.

“Show me where Liao Xing and Ye Fei Li are”

[Rainbow bar’s location has been shown] Impartial Goddess replied.

Gu Qing Shan checked the map on his Holo-Brain, piloted the airship and headed towards the Confederate capital.

The capital.

A rowdy, busy bar.

Liao Xing sat next to Ye Fei Li on a long sofa, drinking.

Gulping down a large glass of liquor, he took a drag off his cigar and sighed ecstatically.

“This is such a nice place” he was enjoying himself, “if I can wish for anything, I’ll wish that I can live every day just like this”

“Your wish sounds boring” Ye Fei Li commented.

“What would you wish for then?” Liao Xing casually asked.

He gave a shot of liquor to Ye Fei Li.

Ye Fei Li fixed his sunglasses, then downed the whole shot in one gulp.

“Wish huh… I have so many things to wish for”

“Don’t be greedy you brat, pick one”

“I want to find a girlfriend”

“Screw you, something more realistic”

“I want to live a normal life”

“Alright, let’s try this again, what kind of girlfriend do you want?”

“Are you sure we’re speaking the same language here?” Ye Fei Li angrily retorted.

Suddenly, a pretty lady walked past their table.

A faint fragrance drifted.

Both of them shut up.

Liao Xing mumbled three numbers under his breath.

Ye Fei Li shook his head: “You damn old pervert, the only thing you’re good with is your mouth, can’t even do what you claimed to do”

“What did I say I can do?”

“You said you only need to talk to them and a bunch of women would swarm all over you, you also said you’d teach me how to be with a girl”

“Ah, did I say that?” Liao Xing was already drunk, blabbering in reply.

That’s right, a fugitive who faked his own death enthusiastically brought a Man Killer Fiend to the bar.

The fugitive told the Man Killer Fiend he’ll show them how to talk to women.

If it weren’t for Impartial Goddess constantly monitoring them, they might’ve already caused quite the scene.

“You old bastard, you can’t even remember your own words now” Ye Fei Li was fuming.

“I remember, what’d ja mean I don’t remember, I’ll teach you right now” Liao Xing spoke.

He looked left and right, only to find none of the ladies in the bar were paying attention here.

Understandable, an alcoholic who’s been drinking shot after shot nonstop, together with a shy guy who still refused to take off his sunglasses under the dim light, this combination isn’t only hard to look at, but even a bit eerie to most people.

Everyone who came here all came to have fun, who would bother with such creepy people?

“Ahem, hey girl, can I buy you a drink?”

Liao Xing tried chatting up the girl sitting just one table away.

She glanced at him, rolled her eyes then moved to another table.

Failed attempt.

“So you’re just all talk; I can’t believe I trusted that you would know how to be with a girl” Ye Fei Li muttered disappointedly.

“When the hell did I ever fib!?” Liao Xing sat up straight and glared.

Ye Fei Li puffed out his chest, imitating his tone and gestures: “Chatting up is a very simple art, I can instantly get any chick I want”

Liao Xing replied: “That’s right, it’s nothing hard”

“How about begging one of the girls to at least talk to you first” Ye Fei Li mocked him.

“Brat, don’t you provoke me, as long as I use my real manly charms ——“

Saying so, Liao Xing’s expression suddenly became serious.

He put down the bottle of liquor, turned on his Holo-Brain and connected to Impartial Goddess.

“Honored Goddess, I have question”

[Mr. Liao, please ask your question]

“My warp device miniaturization project, what kinds of equipment and materials are needed, and how much Credit does Gu Qing Shan have to pay for them?”

[Your required equipment are as follows: Quantum accelerator, miniature power core…]

Impartial Goddess began to list them out one by one.

Liao Xing only silently listened until the end.

Suddenly, his hand seemed to slip and turned the volume up to maximum.

The Holo-Brain very loudly: […and so the remaining capital that you can use is: 1.1 billion, 96 million Confederate Credits]

The sound resounded across the entire bar.

Dead silence.

Everyone else turned to evaluate the two strange people.

“Ah, damn Holo-Brain, always malfunctioning” Liao Xing loudly cursed.

He angrily hit the Holo-Brain, shrugging to everyone: “Sorry about that, my bad, I’ve bothered you all”

He seemed very apologetic.

Everyone turned back, minding their own business.

A few seconds later.

“Hi uncle, is this seat taken?”

A voice came from behind, when they turned to look it was a cute young girl.

The girl smiled brightly, tilting her head at Liao Xing.

Both her face and figure were at least a 9/10.

“Please sit, come, order whatever you want, my treat” Liao Xing replied.

The cute young girl giggled a bit, then very squarely sat down really close next to Liao Xing.

Then another young voice called out: “Uncle, there seems to still be an empty seat here, can I sit here for a while?”

“Come, come”

About a minute later.

Another girl came, pulled a chair from the table next to theirs: “There’s no more space, but we can all squeeze a bit, right?”

“Alright, alright, everyone come take a seat, the more the merrier, we’re all friends here, let’s all have a good time” Liao Xing laughed.

He winked at Ye Fei Li.

Ye Fei Li muttered in a low voice: “That’s not chatting them up at all”
